Brinson+Banks photograph “X-Files” stars Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny for The New York Times

Brinson+Banks recently photographed Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny of The X-Files at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel for The New York Times, an assignment that happened to fall on an important date…

“I was an X-Files nerd in middle school, so it was a special treat to photograph Duchovny and Anderson on my birthday!” says Kendrick Brinson.

“These two have acted together so long that there was an instant comfort and intimacy between them,” notes David Walter Banks, “which made photographing them even more fun.”
